“Discipline is the bridge between goals and
accomplishment”
When you practice self-discipline you
feel like you are in control of your life. You feel content and
motivated
because you're moving toward your goals.
It
is the difference in winning or losing; between greatness and mediocrity
Why
are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more
money, live happier lives and accomplish much more in the same number of years
than the great majority?
I
started out in life with few advantages. I did not graduate from high school. I
started working as a computer operator. I had limited education, limited skills
and a limited future.
And
then I began asking, "Why some are people more successful than
others?" This question changed my life.
Over
the years, I have read on success stories and on achievement. It seems that
the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for
more than two thousand years, in every conceivable way. One quality that most
philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of
self-discipline.
"Success
is tons of discipline."
"The
most important success principle of all
"Do
what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or
not."
Without
self-discipline, you will not achieve success."
Self-discipline
is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens all doors
for you, and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average
person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take you.
